Mobile serving unit

Abstract

A mobile serving unit has one or more serving platforms, and a pedal-operated transport unit for moving the serving platform, also an appliance which may be operated at least partly by gas, for the preparation of food an/or drink.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Already known is the serving of food and drink from motor vehicles, e.g. pickup trucks, which have a sales platform on the load area. The power needed for the preparation and heating of food and drink, e.g. coffee, is supplied by units with petrol or diesel internal combustion engines, which may be fed without difficulty through the motor vehicle or from stationary connections. This brings the disadvantage that such vehicles may not be operated everywhere, e.g. often not in recreational areas such as parks and green spaces or on footpaths, firstly because of the noise and stink of the internal combsution engines, and secondly because the motor verhicles are realtively large. Setting up and putting away is also relatively time-consuming so that, while the vehicles can move from one site to another, they can react only with difficulty to costumer requests while they are “on the move.” They are therefore virually static in terms of the selling process.[...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]Through the use of gas, siginficant drawbacks of internal combustion engines, namely noise and stink, may be avoided, thereby allowing for the use even in recreational areas such as parks, etc. or on or adjacent to footpaths. Moreover, in comparison with internal combustion engines, gas containers are relatively small and lightweight. On the other hand the (fuel) gas provides an energy source which allows long use and plenty of energy. This avoids the need for frequent ...
